This query is : Resolved
Hi, I am looking for some help regarding my unusual situation - I am not sure if i need to file a divorce. If yes, then i need help in filing divorce without having to use a lawyer as I can't afford one!
My Situation: Aprrox 2.5 yrs back I had a boy friend who had me sign some certificate in a temple in presence of a lawyer's assistant & him and his parents claim it's a marriage certificate. I don't know what certificate is that! My family is totally unaware of the situation.
I never stayed with him after that and I want to cancel that document so I don't have to face any problem in future.
Please suggest if I need to file for a divorce. If yes,
- What is the procedure for divorce with mutual consent and how do I do it without a lawyer as I can't afford a lawyer!
- How long would it take to get that certificate null & void?
- Do I still have to serve that 6 months of time trying to resolve things with him before finally getting the divorce? (I don't want to resolve anything - I am not with him for over 2 years already).
Please help!
You could connect with my friend at +91-9620977847
Or akashkumar.31.08@gmail.com.
He is aware of the situation and would help me!

Without seeing the paper it is difficult to advise as it its legal sanctity warranting decree of divorce to dissolve the marriage.

From the narration it can be understood that your marriage was solmnised in a temple where you were required to sign the form for getting married or the register kept in the temple for the purpose. However, though the marriage has not been registered in the registrar office, it is a legally valid marriage which can be dissolved by a court of law only. If your husband agrees for a mutual consent divorce, you both may file a petition jointly seeking to dissolve your marriage by mutual consent, which after taken into file, will kept aside for a period of six months after which both have to appear once again before the court and the divorce will be decreed by court. For this, if you know the filing procedure and the exact legal wordings, you do not have to take the assistance of a lawyer, better do it yourself.

It is improbable that Akash Kumar is a girl's name. If so, where is the question of valid marriage with the boyfriend?
